In the last few years, scientific literature has linked the practice of physical and sporting activities with various benefits such as physical, psychological or social and emotional among prisoners, but there is less evidence when we come to female prisoners. In addition to this, we have not got a range of evidences about the type of physical practices they were carrying out thus, there is an obvious gap in this area of knowledge. In order to fill that gap, the objective of this article is to provide data based on the interpretations of an inmate, mother, drug addict and sportswoman whom we have interviewed on three occasions over almost 5 years. The data refer to her drug dependence, the effect of the exercise in this relationship and the possibilities of reintegration depending on the type of physical activity they carry out. According to the data, psychomotor activities combat drug addiction and may replace the peak moments, while sociomotor activities create bonds of friendship between 'equals', networks that make easier the social reintegration.
